Good News: This “Dodge Ram Challenge” site reeks of superior production value and enough raw testosterone to sell every red state male a shiny new truck.

Bad News: Unfortunately, it will give you the worst case of hurl-inducing vertigo you’ve ever experienced in your life.

Hello, Joe.

I do believe it’s possible that the people in this ad genuinely believe they are “Joe the Plumber.” However, I do NOT think it’s possible that they could look more “dead behind the eyes.”

Oh this is just great. The US Army is working to develop a little thing they like to call “Synthetic Telepathy.” It’s a technology that reads your thoughts for you and goes ahead and carries out those imagined actions.

As of now they are able to generate emails and voicemails on thought waves alone. The next step is introducing this technology to video games. We’ll all be spontaneously doing things like making out with coworkers or killing annoying strangers in no time!

I think I speak for a lot of Americans when I say that the dead last thing I need is a machine that knows what I’m thinking.

German engineering is fine and all, but I want to have a baby to get the Bugaboo.

Wonderful from 72 and Sunny.

I got this email from MediaPost today. Desperately hoping it’s an email from 2004 that somehow accidentally got sent out again.

Google’s Got Your Drunk Ass Covered

Google is my friend. Sometimes I wish it were a person so I could give it a hug. It’s that kind of love.

This new Gmail “Mail Goggles” application that they’ve launched is nothing short of extraordinary. It’s a function that can be enabled that requires emailers to solve simple math equations in an allotted time period before the email will send. So the more martinis you drink the less likely that slurred email to your estranged ex will actually go through.

One less way for me to totally embarrass myself. Now, if only something like this were available for Twitter.

One-sentence stories are nothing short of addicting. Have a read or two.

Arguably the best way you could possibly spend 8 minutes.
